Looking ahead to all this weekends National League One games, Stephen McCormack gives his predictions. McCormack, the RFU’s Statistician, has a decent track record with his predictions. Hopefully not this week though, he’s tipping Leeds to lick Roth.

It Could Only Get Better - Worcester Match Report
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:55:47 +0100

It wasn’t until just before kick off that I had remembered that I had volunteered myself to write the match report for the last home game of the season. I quickly asked Mrs Cheffy if she could provide a pen and the scribbling started.

Springtime in Watford
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 13:57:49 +0100

At the start of the season, to be told that Sarries were in the European Challenge Cup semi-final AND in the mix for the knock-out stage of the Premiership would have delighted most supporters. I think we would have seen it as a very good result for the season.

When one of Ireland's most promising young prop forwards was dealt a hammer blow last August, many wondered whether it was the end of the road for Ronan 'Johnny Bravo' Loughney. The Connacht prop tore a cruciate knee ligament in the dying moments of a pre-season friendly against Narbonne in France.

Unfinished Business
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 20:30:38 +0100

Leeds Tykes are National Division One champions and Rotherham can only finish second at best. This weekend’s fixture no longer has the "title decider" tag attached to it and therefore it will be a dull end of season affair.

Spy in the Bedford Camp

A look ahead at the weekends trip to Goldington Road. Tom Hayes gets Captain and Andy Williams gets a start. Albion needs this win to see them finish as the top club in the south west.

Beverley Colts 24 Scunthorpe Colts 5
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 09:42:50 +0100
